M. de Lesseps has not had the good success
with his latest Panama c. nal loan which was
at first reported. Notwithstanding the enor-
nous discount offered only one-half the loan
was subscr bed for. AS this will at best only
keep the work going for another year the
inevitable crash would seem to be nearer
at hand than was expected.
A good deal of fiction has been published
concerning the OPP ostion to the Sherman
resolution at the Toledo convention. Judge
King, one of the leading Blaine delegates,
says that - the newspaper men did most OF the
fighting which is dou tess correct. His
version of the matter, which Will be found
elsewhere in to-day's TRIBUNE, will be read
with interest.
General Bouanger does not appear to know
the value of silenc. He could have profted
immensely by keeping quiet after he was sent
away from Paris, and awaiting the fall OF
the existing Ministry, which, according to the
experience of the past would not have been
long. Instead Of doing so, he has kept him.

duel with Premier Ferry. If the French
people do not soon regard him a nuisance
he will have better luck than he deserves.
The Canadians evidently find thieves profit
able if not pleasant com anlons. McGargle,
tn Chicago "booiler," has secured a landing
on their soil by the aid of two of their vessels.
1t is an interesting question as to whether
Canadian vessels can come into American
ports to engage in this business. But that
appears to have been the way McGarge
made his escap,. 1t is not to be supposed,
however, that the decent people OF Canada
approve of such work.
Considering how little shipping this coun-
try has engaged in the fore gn trade it is
decidedly unpleasant to learn Of its continued
decline Unless something is done to place
it on an equality with the subsidized ships OF
foreign nations it is only question OF short
time when there will be no foreign trade
under the American flag. proposed remedy
and some interesting views on the subject
will be found in an article elsewhere in to-day's
TRIBUNE.
The collapse of the effort to set up the
State Rights doctrine in New-Jersey, ir
order to prevent the construction Of bridge
to Staten Island, will give general satisfaction.
According to Trenton dispatch, Justice
Bradley will to-day file decision to that
effect. The opposition that has been made
tn the use of Staten Island for terminal facil-
tiles has not been of a wholly dsinterested
character, and the report that the ma
jority Of the people OF New-Jersey favor tho
bridge is undoubtedly correct.
The persons who suffer most from tho
Canadian Interpretation of the Treaty OF
1918 are the Canadian Fl hermen. They
come by carloads to seek work on this side,
and many of their boats have beer laid up

emf them off from the American market. 1t
